We’ll be using long exposures. If you own a star filter, bring it too. If you’ve never taken my classes, you’re in for a treat! All levels of photographers are welcome to join me.

The centerpiece of the shows is a 12-foot tall kite that serves as an ode to Benjamin Franklin’s famous kite-and-lightning experiment, hovering 16 feet above the square’s centerpiece fountain. LED lights dance to music all along the kite, spreading holiday glow throughout the park. Two alternating shows take place every 30 minutes beginning at 4:30 p.m. Hang out after we’re done and enjoy the Beer Garden and Ice Sculptures.

This weekend Katydid Photography is taking advantage of this beautiful weather and offering four great workshops. Come join us and enjoy this gorgeous fall weather while it lasts!

Hidden Waterfalls, Lower Bucks County

Come out with me and photograph a hidden waterfall, Up close and personal. You’ll be on dry land and right in front of the waterfalls. Bring your tripod, polarizer or neutral density filters. We will be using slow shutter speeds to create romantic dreamy photos. We’ll also be using super fast shutter speeds to stop the action of the waterfalls for a crisp, clean look.

This workshop is limited to 10 people. I have scouted out locations for our workshop and this one is fantastic! I will teach how to use Shutter Priority (S, Tv) and Manual Modes. Also how to work with ND/or Polarizer filters correctly and focus. We will also be using Histograms, Metering and White Balance for great results.

Wear hiking boots. We will be walking thru a small muddy area.

Date: Friday, Nov. 4, 2016
Time: 5:00 pm-6:00 pm
Cost: $49.99

Specific directions will be emailed to you after signing up. Please send your email address and cell # to katydid photograph@comcast.net

Photograph Fall Colors at Cuttaloosa Farm, Bucks County

Let‘s get together and shoot this iconic farm estate. Enjoy a journey through time with this beautiful property nestled on 10 acres in the back roads of Bucks County. It happens to be one of the most painted and photographed scenes in the state of Pa. Come visit with the chickens and the baby doll sheep. Check out the waterwheel and the barn. Get wonderful reflections in the pond of the wooden buildings. So much beauty to photograph yet so simple. Bring your lenses and try out different angles. I would suggest a wide angle and a telephoto lens. Work on your depth of field skills and bring your tripod if you like. This is a great property to try out some HDR images. Kathy will be available to help everyone individually with their problem areas during this workshop.
